JOSEPH PALERMITI, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

. RADIATOR.

Application filed February 26, 1925.

To (ZZZ whom it may concern.

) Be it known that I, JOSEPH PALERMITI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit in the county of Wayne and State nfM chigan, have nvented a new and usetul improvement in a Radiator, of which the following is Specification.

My invention relates to a new and useful nnprovement in a radiator adapted for use for heating purposes.

it is an object of the invention to provide a radiator of this class which is made preferably from a single casting provided with a plurality of passage ways in the interior thereof for causing the steam or other heating fluiddirected therein to traverse the radiator so as to heat a large area.

Another object of the invention is a provision of a radiator of this class which will. be simple in structure, economical of manufacture and highly efiicient of use.

dinother objectof the invention is a provision of a radiatorof this class which is formed irom'a single casting and provided with a deflecting shield projecting outwardly from adjacent the upper side thereof so as to deflect the heat rays downwardly and outwardly from the radiator.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood from a reference to the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specifi cation and in which,

Fig. 1 is a perspective View of the inven- 'tion.

2 is a longitudinal, vertical, central sectional view of the invention, taken on substantially line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical sectional view of the invention, taken on substantially line ;-3 8 of Fig. 2. As shown in the drawings the radiator comprises a main body portion 7 which is provided with a plurality of passages 8 formed by means of partition walls 9 and 10 which are cast at the same time as the main body. It will be noted that the partition walls 9 are joined together at one end by means of a trans versely extending partition wall 11. The partition walls 10 terminate a slight distance from the interior surface of the partition wall 11 so as to provide communication between the adjacent passages at that Serial No. 11,632.

end. It will, also be noted that the partition walls 9 terminate a slight distance from the end wall 12 so as to provide a space for the communication of adjacent passages at that end. The partition 11 is connectedby the projection 13 to the wall 14-. The space 15 lies between the wall 14 and the partition 11 and communicates with the outlet pipe 16. An" inlet pipe 17 communicates with the lowermost passage 8. It will be noted that the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are projected downwardly from the same end of the radiator in parallel relation to each other and in close proximity so that the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe may be projected through a single opening formed in the floor ofthe building with which used. A suitable air relief valve '18 is mounted in communication with the passage 15 adjacent the upper end thereof. The upper wall 19 is provided with a deflecting flange 20 which projects beyond the side wall and is inclined on its under surface slightly downward so as to deflect the upwardly travelling waves of heat downwardly and outwardly into the room in which used. Suitable legs 21 and 22 are mounted on the radiator and serve as'supporting standards.

The wall 12 is provided with openings.

23 so that each of the passage ways 8 may communicate withone of the openings 23. These openings are provided for outlets in order to remove the cores from the casting when made. When in use each of these openings is provided with a suitable plug which is threaded therein to serve as a closure.

A radiator constructed in this manner is one which is economical of manufacture and which under ordinary conditions is efficient in use inasmuch as the walls may be made of thin material on account of their reinforcement resulting from the partition members mounted therein. It is to be noted that the radiator presents uninterrupted surfaces so that the accumulation of dust on the radiator is reduced to a minimum and there is provided a radiator which adds to the attractiveness and general appearance of the room in which used.

\Vhile I have illustrated and described the preferred form of structure I do not wish to limit myself to the precise details of structure set forth desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the ap pended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is,

l. A radiator of the class described comprising a main body portion formed from a single casting; a plurality of partition forming members projecting longitudinally of said main body portion in spaced relation to each other; a transversely extending partition forming member connected to the ends of said longitudinally extending par tition forming members and spaced slightly from one of the end Walls of said main body; a connecting portion projecting from the lower end of said transversely extending partition forming member and connecting said transversely extending partition forming member to said end wall; a plurality of partition forming members extending longitudinally of said body and projecting from the opposite end of said main body in overlapped spaced relation to said first mentioned longitudinally extending, partition forming members and terminating at their ends a slight distance from said transversely extending partition forming member, said seconn mentioned end wall be ing provided with a plurality of openings each of said openings being in alignment with said first mentioned longitudinally extending partition forming members, said first mentioned longitudinally extending partition forming members terminating a slight distance from the end wall in which said openings are formed.

2. A radiator of the class described formed from a single casting and comprising a housing forming structure; a plurality of partition forming members projecting longitudinally of said structure in spaced relation to each other; a transversely extending partition forming member connected to one end of each of said longitudi nally extending partition forming -mem bers and spaced slightly from one of the end walls of said structure; a connecting portion projecting from the lower end of said transversely extending partition forming member and connecting the same to said end wall adjacent its lower end, said connecting portion extending parallel to said longitudinally extending partition members and being spaced slightly from the base of said structure; a plurality of partition forming members extending longitudinally of said structure and projecting from the opposite end wall of said structure in overlapping spaced relation to said first-mentioned longitudinally extending partition forming members and terminating at their ends a slight distance from said transversely extending partition forming member, said first mentioned longitudinally extending partition forming members terminating a slight distance from said opposite end wall; an inlet pipe mounted in the first mentioned end wall of said structure in communication with the interior thereof below said connecting portion and angularly turned downwardly exteriorly of said structure in parallel relation to the end wall thereof; and an outlet pipe mounted in said end wall of said structure above said connecting portion in communication with the space separating said .end wall and said transversely extending partition forming member, said outlet pipe being downwardly turned exterior of said housing in parallel relation to said first-mentioned end wall in close proximity to the downwardly turned portion of said inlet pipe.

In testimony whereof I have signed the foregoing specification.

JOSEPH PALERMITI.
